The Hired Man

By: Maximo D. Ramos

"Harvesting until Sunset" painting by Fernando Amorsolo
 

Consider him-consider now
The man who follows the one-tooth plough.

You told him, “Love your native earth.”
You told him, “Praise your freeman’s birth.”

Has he a patch to call his own?
Does she possess his blood and bone?

You say God made man look like Him,
You say he’s next to the Seraphim:

Was God so dead to burning word?
Does this know range of singing bird?
